Chicagoland Beer Exploration Society
Information
Every member of the Society (CBES) should aspire to have a beer at every brewery or brewpub located in a day or two bicycle ride distance from Chicago (and, of course, within the city limits).
Naturally, preferable way of getting to is by bike, as for riding back . . . whatever is available, train, bus, horse and buggy, depending on amount of beverages consumed at the destination.

That's sounds good. Proposed route something like this

I am looking to do 100-110 miles on Sunday. Leaving early (7-7:30 am). Riding at my usual (slow) pace. Thinking of riding to Joliet.
Not a beer ride per se, but you could tag along. There are a few breweries near Joliet that not everyone may have visited.

Bob, see you at the clock tower at 10:30.
John, wanna meet us on the n branch trail, Devon/Caldwell? Should take use around 50 minutes to ride there from the clock tower.

I'm at Devon and thought I could meet there instead of going south to go back North. I couldn't get those links to show me on Google maps.

dane, sure, meet @ 10:30?
john, the beginning of the new extension looks like it's a little further south, at "Forest Glen Woods - Picnic Grove #1", on forest glen just north of catalpa, or 41.980925,-87.755203. google maps says 6.8 mi./40 min. from the clock tower, we should get there between 11 and 11:15.

I might like to join you guys. I could meet you at Devon or Touhy if I had an idea when you'd be rollin through.
